My bathroom is furnished as a kind of darkroom. I have an old Meopta Opemus 5 enlarger there. Haven't done any printing for some years, though.
A1: I develop films myself whenever possible. CineStill Cs-41 for color films, Adox Rodinal and Adox HC-110 syrup for b&w. Used a lot of Ilford DD-X earlier, but that started to become too expensive.

Even the thought of those kind of temperatures makes my face hurt already.

07.12.2025 15:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0You're correct. Not just large-format cameras, but basically all folder cameras used the rails system until the 30s. These early 30s Voigtlรคnders were probably the last rollfilm cameras to stick with the old system; e.g. contemporary Zeiss Icons were already using the cantilever system.

The cat's tail is saucy and erect but leaning towards the right. There is no other landscape in the photo other than the white snow. Found on martiniden666's Tumblr, it's titled Cat in the Snow, 1953, photographer Hannes Kilian.
Found on martiniden666's Tumblr - thought this was a drawing but the caption says it's a photo from 1953 titled Cat in the Snow from photographer Hannes Kilian.

Is this #voigtlรคnder Inos II (and its close relative Bessa E) the only self-erecting lens-on-rails folding camera model there is? I'd like to know whether there are any comparable designs.

Think I managed to reset Inos II infinity focus; only a test film can tell how close I really got.
Needed just to bend the shutter bracket a bit more, and remove a burr that prevented the base plate opening fully (was missing just 1-2ยฐs from the full 90ยฐ)

Wow
05.12.2025 14:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0As I feared, the infinty focus of the Inos II is way off the mark. The infinity focus point is now at about the 8m mark on the distance scale. I estimated that I'd need to move the shutter some ~1,5mm further away from the film plane...
